Grant & Barker: Parry and Grant Encyclopaedic Dictionary of International Law (Third Edition)

John P. Grant (Lewis & Clark - Law) & J. Craig Barker (Univ. of Sussex - Law) have published the third edition of Parry and Grant Encyclopaedic Dictionary of International Law (Oxford Univ. Press 2009). Here's the abstract:

For nearly thirty-five years, the international legal community has relied on one ambitious yet humble volume as a starting point for legal questions. This classic red volume is a one-of-a-kind reference tool that brings together both terminology and pertinent descriptive information on international law. This book will also be available online as an e-reference on the Oxford University Press Digital Reference Shelf.

Now in its third edition, The Parry and Grant Encyclopaedic Dictionary of International Law is completely updated and expanded to include increased coverage in growing areas of international law including diplomatic law, criminal law, human rights, and more. Over 2,500 entries (over a 20% increase in content from the previous edition) provides the reader with copious references for further research including cases, treaties, journal articles, and websites.
